R.I.P. Stan "The Man Unusual" Musial. As a fellow Polish American, I always held "Stash" in extremely high esteem. I always liked Musial more than his contemporary, Williams. While Williams would talk for hours about hitting, I thought Musial summed up hitting pretty well.

"You wait for a strike, then you knock the **** out of it."

Stan was "The Man." Pitcher Dan Stanhouse, an oddball, was "The Man Unusual." The Man indeed.
